Adywan's

Adywan's emperor scene should be in place of the rubber face ghoul of old with this original gout dialogue ...

I was actually planning to use the original emperor, which I like the look of (always have). He looks a lot more sinister than the SE emperor and even Adywan's Emperor IMHO, I love the way his face is mostly concealed in shadow. I don't believe in this continuety revisionism that GL is so fond of to fit later films (like changing the voice of Bobba Fett to give another example).

I've been hearing rumours that Ian Holm may be replaced by Martin Freeman at the beginning of FOTR in a new FOTR 'ultimate edition' that'll be released when The Hobbit comes out, but I REALLY REALLY hope that's not the case. I'm pretty sure that Peter Jackson would never do that to Ian Holm. I just wish that they would just leave these old films that have already been released theatrically and seen and loved by so many millions alone. The old emperor looks much much better than the special edition emperor anyway (don't get me started on the dialogue changes...), so why change it!?

The work Adywan has done for his revisited versions is amazing but this project is about removing all the bad changes and reinstating the original theatrical versions of said changes, not creating totally new content like Adywan has done. For me at least, that's going too far. That said, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what Adywan's been up to these last few years with ESB revisited and especially all the new content he's added. :D

Yes, completely agree, OMEN. The original scene is awesome and the emperor looks pretty creepy. No need to mess with this scene.
